Bentz: 'The election was not stolen, it was bought'

Jan. 12—LA GRANDE — Oregon U.S. Rep. Cliff Bentz, R-Ontario, does not believe former President Donald Trump's claim that President Joe Biden won the 2020 presidential election because of voter fraud.

"The election was not stolen, it was bought," Bentz, a first-term congressman, said during a meet-and-greet Thursday, Jan. 6, in La Grande.

Bentz said Democrats had an enormous edge in funding donors with deep pockets, including one who donated $400 million to Biden's campaign. Bentz said the Democrats spent several times more money per vote than the Republicans did.

Bentz referenced a large donation Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg made and suggested it benefited Biden and Democrats.
